Viscose – is it a good choice for beginner tailors? 

Viscose is a fabric that combines everything a beginner tailor needs to gain confidence in their first projects. It is soft, airy and extremely pleasant to the touch, thanks to which ready-made clothes are great to wear. What's more, viscose fits well – both on the body and on the tailor's table – which makes it easier to work on patterns and makes the material "cooperate" with the sewing person. A particularly beginner-friendly material is viscose jersey. It is a knitted fabric that is characterized by elasticity, which makes it easy to work with, even for people who are just starting their adventure with tailoring. Viscose jersey is great for simple projects like t-shirts, blouses or dresses – without worrying that the material will move or be difficult to fit. Its flexibility also means that it does not require precise adjustment of the patterns, which is a huge advantage for beginners.

What designs work best with viscose?

Viscose is a fabric that works great in many different tailoring projects. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of clothing – from casual, everyday clothes, through elegant outfits, to light, airy accessories. Thanks to its lightness, airiness and elasticity, viscose is perfect for clothes that require both comfort and aesthetics. Depending on the type of viscose, it can be used for different styles that are perfect for any occasion.

Here are some project ideas that will work best with viscose:

• Summer and airy dresses: Viscose is perfect for light summer dresses that fall freely on the figure and provide comfort even on hot days.
• Everyday blouses and tops: Soft viscose jersey will be perfect for sewing comfortable yet stylish blouses and tops that fit every day.
• Skirts: Viscose works great with skirts, especially those with a loose cut, which provide comfort and freedom of movement.
• Elegant evening dresses (e.g. made of viscose satin): Glossy satin viscose is the perfect material for elegant outfits for special occasions that look luxurious.
• Loose pants and jumpsuits: Loose-fitting, flowy pants or comfortable jumpsuits are great designs for viscose that combine style with comfort.
• Shawls, scarves and scarves: Chiffon viscose is the perfect material for light accessories such as scarves or scarves, which add subtlety to any outfit.
• Tunics and kimonos for the beach: Viscose is also an excellent choice for summer tunics or kimonos, which go well with looser beach outfits.

First time with viscose? No nerves! 

Working with viscose for the first time may seem like a challenge, but there is no need to stress! It is a fabric that works well together, and with the right approach you will achieve great results. Start with simple designs such as a blouse or dress that will allow you to gain confidence in sewing. For beginners, viscose jersey is the perfect choice, as it is flexible, easy to work with and pleasant to the touch. When sewing viscose, it is worth remembering a few tips that will make your work easier. First, this fabric tends to move gently when cutting and sewing, so it's a good idea to clip it on carefully before you start working. For simple designs, such as a blouse, patterns with a loose cut that does not require a complicated fit to the figure will work well. On the other hand, to sew a dress, choose a pattern with a classic cut, e.g. trapezoidal, which will look great in viscose, providing freedom of movement. Use thin needles to sew lightweight fabrics to avoid damaging the fabric. Also take care of the right needles – jersey is delicate, so choose thin needles so as not to damage it. 

Pattern or smooth fabric? How to choose a material for your first project!

The choice of material for the first projects is crucial to make sewing fun and the results satisfactory. When starting your adventure with tailoring, it is worth focusing on simplicity. Smooth fabric, especially in a solid color, will be much easier to work with. Patterned fabric, although very effective, requires a little more experience – mainly because you have to take care of the correct fit of the pattern so that the whole thing looks consistent and aesthetically pleasing. Patterns can also mask possible imperfections in sewing, but this can also be difficult when you are just learning how to cut and staple precisely. For this reason, it is better to choose a smooth fabric to start with to work on the technical aspects of sewing, rather than matching complex patterns. Only when you get the hang of it you can move on to patterned fabrics – it will definitely be a creative challenge! 

How to choose a good quality viscose material? 

Although we leave this thread for the end, it does not mean that it is the least important – quite the opposite! Choosing a fabric is actually the first step on the way to a successful project (especially the first one) and should not be underestimated. Quality material not only guarantees durability and the desired aesthetics of your works, but also facilitates the sewing process itself, which can be particularly stressful at first. Viscose with the right weight will be pleasant to the touch, fits well and will not cause problems when cutting or sewing.
